Image how annoying it is to be lectured about the seriousness of covid when you’ve already had covid by someone who hasn’t. Many many many Americans have had direct experiences with covid by now and understand the risks to themselves quite accurately.

That is very odd. But I have seen this dozens of times now on Twitter and other places.
I currently have covid (no symptoms) and that is fully nothing like as bad as homeschooling my kids for months while working full time without financial relief or social contact with another adult

There goes at least 900 grammas. But they are both right.
Every time they try to make you feel guilty about your car or your hobbies or your recycling habits, remember that every lever of power has known how serious climate change was for most of our entire lives, and have actively chosen to deny, ignore, lie, & accelerate it for profit

And purity culture has emerged in the left to enforce this, and to attempt to take away travel and other pleasures of life — all corporate-sponsored of course. But the mooks who bleat about how terrible you are for even wanting to travel don’t know that. Why would they? They don’t know anything about anything.
It’s embarrassing what liberalism has become. And for what? It won’t even help the things they think it will.
The political emergency of Covid is over everywhere but among public health nerds and the increasingly fringe group for which The Pandemic gives them purpose. https://t.co/b9pix07uOV

I hope Matt’s right. Other than the effect it has on hospitals, I don’t really give a shit about Omicron one way or the other. I got vaccinated for a fucking reason.
